Howdy! Ben,

I got the notebook back together again but still can't use it.

When I turn it on I see the regular coloring on the Display for 1/4th
of a second and then it shows Ten wide vertical bands with many thin
vertical lines in each band.

While it was open I did see that the holder for the CMOS Cell had a
+ Mark on it and I could see the + Mark on the CR1220 Cell.
So I know I put the 1220 in properly the first time I opened it up.

As I was putting it back together I thought of Holger because I think
that He uses a notebook and iirc He also does Service on Computers in
His Shop.

Those things were not made for Fat Fingers.

I did try being careful about Static.
So I may not had been as careful as I thought, since the display is
messed up.

I know the BIOS is working because after it is turned on, one minute
later the screen goes dark, and that is the Default setting for the BIOS.

I touch a Key and wait one minute and it goes blank again.

To me that says the BIOS is working.

That is as much as I think I know.

Stay Tuned for another episode............
